Le lobby - la façon décontractée et décomplexée du check-in et du check-out - le super petit déjeune - la gentillesse du personnel
Unheimlich nettes Personal.
Guter Service, Hotelbeschreibung passte zum tatsächlichen Erlebnis, gutes Frühstück, sehr hilfsbereit
schönes Hotel, modern, gute Lage, viele Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe
We only wished we could have stayed longer!Right next to Savignyplatz subway, this feel of this hotel was so classy yet comfortable. We absolutely loved the common area, to include the reading room and adjacent bar. The design theme was pretty interesting, and we could have spent a few hours chilling out in the reading room with a cup of tea or capuccino. Our room was just as good, with high ceilings and very comfortable bedding. We elected to have the breakfast in the hotel, and we were so happy that we did! The spread was fabulous. We had just spent a week in Paris where the hotels are tiny, so this place just felt like a great landing pad. Location-wise, it isn't necessary in the middle of everything - but the night life gets lively in the neighborhood. It was close to the train station and subway, so it was perfectly fine for us. Overall, a great respite after a day of roaming Berlin! Highly recommend.

Ford Center
Attendance: 18,203
Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - After falling short of an NBA Finals appearance last season, Kevin Durant and the Thunder started the 2011-12 campaign determined to advance to the next level.
Durant, the NBA's scoring leader each of the last two years, posted 30 points as Oklahoma City ran past the Orlando Magic, 97-89, in the season-opener for both teams. Durant also had six assists and five rebounds.
"Kevin probably had his best passing game," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He was finding open shooters across the court. That's what we've been talking about, stressing all training camp. We saw some carry over tonight."
James Harden came off the bench for 19 points and Russell Westbrook tallied 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the victory.
The Thunder, coming off a Western Conference finals loss to the Mavericks, built a 14-point halftime lead and were in front by as many as 22 in the fourth quarter.
Dwight Howard, who requested a trade from the Magic in the offseason, totaled 11 points and 15 rebounds. Ryan Anderson led the way with 25 points and 10 boards. Jameer Nelson scored 18 in defeat.
"On the defensive end, I didn't think we were good in the first half," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I thought we got much better in the second half. Offensively, we just weren't good all night."
Orlando, which was ousted in the first round of the playoffs last season, bolted to an 18-11 lead with under eight minutes left in the opening quarter. The Thunder, though, finished the period on a 16-4 burst, capped by seven made free throws from Harden, sandwiched around a Nazr Mohammed jumper.
The Thunder continued to widen the gap in the second. Durant drove the right baseline for a two-handed flush, and a slimmer Kendrick Perkins found Nick Collison for a layup, expanding the lead to 48-31 with 5:02 left in the half.
After holding a 55-41 lead at the break, Oklahoma City maintained the double- digit advantage throughout the third, carrying an 81-63 cushion into the fourth.
The largest lead was 85-63 following a Daequan Cook 3-pointer, but the Magic finally got within single digits in the latter stages. Anderson's 3-point make from the left corner trimmed the deficit to 95-87 with 1:20 left.
It was too late for a comeback, though, as the Thunder won at home for a third straight time over the Magic.

Madonna Pictures Arriving in London on Her Birthday With Brahim Zaibat
Madonna Arrives in London on Her 53rd Birthday With Her Four Kids and 24-Year-Old Boyfriend Brahim
Madonna touched down in London this morning with her kids, Rocco, David, Mercy, and Lourdes. Also in her entourage was her 24-year-old French dancer boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, who spent the last few weeks in the US vacationing with Madonna. She, her children, and Brahim were at her place in the Hamptons, where they were pictured having a beach party a few days ago. Madonna and Brahim were seen kissing and hugging on the sand, apparently going strong despite rumors of a split a few months ago. There will be more celebrating in store today, as it's Madonna's 53rd birthday. We're celebrating by checking out Madonna's best beauty looks! Brahim will be by Madonna's side as she gears up for what will likely be a very busy end of 2011. Her directorial effort W.E., the story of King Edward VIII's romance with Wallis Simpson, will be out on Dec. 9. The film stars Abbie Cornish as Wallis, and the actress recently spoke about what it's like working with Madonna. Abbie said, "You need to be totally switched on to the news and current affairs to talk to her – she asks you questions all the time and expects you to be up on everything that's going on, from Libya to the latest advances in technology. Her mind never stops working. She's also very funny. She tells a lot of good jokes. She is one of the coolest women on the planet."

IN 1998, at a research station in south-west Uganda, William Wagoire, a plant breeder out checking his crops, came across something that everyone thought had been driven from the face of the Earth: the crimson cankers of stem rust, a disease that was once wheat's deadliest scourge but had not been seen since the Green Revolution that transformed agriculture in the second half of the 20th century. Since then stem rust has spread from a corner of Africa's Great Lakes to countries as distant as Iran and, recently, South Africa (see article). Scientists now fear that the fungus cannot be kept out of Punjab, one of the world's great bread baskets.
So far rust has not caused a disaster. But that is mostly because of luck, and luck does not last. In the right conditions stem rust destroys everything in its path. After decades in which they have not encountered the disease most of the world's wheat varieties have fallen behind in the endless battle of thrust and counter-thrust waged by predators and prey. They are defenceless. Wheat is the most widely planted crop in the world, providing a fifth of mankind's calories. So the return of stem rust could cause vast suffering, threatening mass hunger in some of the world's most populated areas.
Scare stories abound, but this is one worth taking seriously. Fortunately, the story of wheat rust—albeit punctuated with carelessness and complacency—is not just of destruction but also of unacknowledged successes. Plant breeders have come up with remedies and strategies that could keep stem rust at bay. But they urgently need more help.
For decades wheat was protected by a single rust-resisting gene identified by Norman Borlaug, the scientist behind the Green Revolution (in fact the growth in yields that was that revolution's great achievement began with his research into rust). The evolution of rust to overcome this genetic barrier enabled the disease to spread. But in the past few seasons plant breeders have developed new defences. Instead of erecting a single barrier, they now set up several lower defences that reduce rust's harm. By itself, each would be inadequate. Together, however, they offer enough protection—and have the advantage that it is much harder for a disease to defeat four or five separate defences than just one. "Rust never sleeps," Borlaug once said. But it can be sedated.
To go from identifying a disease to developing a new generation of seeds in a decade is remarkable. Plant breeders and the Gates Foundation financing them deserve credit, especially for acting before an epidemic, not during one. Alas, out in the fields of the emerging world, farmers do not have the same foresight. Profoundly conservative, most are reluctant to change the seeds they have been using for years unless they can see the threat. That alas is the road to famine.
Knowing this, seed banks, farm-extension services and other institutions exist to badger and educate farmers. But they have been run down. Borlaug's own International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (better known by its Spanish acronym, CIMMYT) has seen the budget of its global wheat programme cut by 40% in real terms since 1980. In retrospect that complacency looks dangerous. Only five institutions in the world are able properly to identify stem rust, and three will not accept foreign samples. So though a lot of work has been done in laboratories, much more is needed outside them to produce seeds on a commercial scale, get them out in the countryside and persuade farmers to use them. It would be a far better use of public money than most farm subsidies.
At the same time, if such help is to have public support, the right lessons need to be drawn from the return of stem rust. For many people the resurgence of the disease is a cautionary tale of excessive scientific meddling, over-dependence on too few crops and genetic engineering. If only, the argument goes, the world had not made itself dependent on a single failed gene, wheat would not be under threat.
The truth is almost exactly the opposite. Without Borlaug's rust-resisting wheat, millions more people might have been malnourished. The gene he discovered—Sr31—was surely one of the most beneficial finds of human history. It was the product not of genetic engineering but of patient, old-fashioned cross-breeding, of the kind farmers have been doing for centuries. So is the new generation of anti-rust seeds. (Genetic-engineering efforts have started, but remain in the laboratories.) Science is the solution to stem rust, not the cause of its return. The real moral of the story is that farmers and breeders need every tool, including GM, at their disposal in the constant battle against disease, predation—and complacency.

Will CDC continue to use the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts?
Yes. Centers, Institutes and Offices (CIOs) will have the option of publishing research opportunities in both the NIH Guide and the Find section of Grants.gov. -
I see two application packages for download in the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Which one should I download?
The applicant should only download the application package with the text 'Version-2-Forms' in the Competition ID field. The other application package (without this designation) will expire soon and become invalid for future submissions. -
What will be the minimum time that an opportunity will be announced?
Our goal is to post an opportunity for a minimum of 30 days before the submission date; same as present. Applicant organizations can submit applications on or after the Opening date listed in the FOA. - How does the Grants.gov system populate the field for CFDA
Applicants should note that:- For Funding Opportunity Announcements posted before 12/19/05, the Grants.gov system draws the first CFDA in the list. The application package downloaded from Grants.gov may have a pre-filled CFDA number and description that may not correspond to the Institute/Center of interest. HHS/CDC does not use the CFDA number for assignment of the application. HHS/CDC staff will correct this field in the eRA system after submission.
- For FOAs posted after 12/19/05, the Grants.gov system allows HHS/CDC to leave this field blank. HHS/CDC staff will complete this field in the eRA system after submission.
In either situation, applicants should just ignore the CFDA field and not try to enter/change data.
Should I look for an opportunity by entering the CFDA number on Grants.gov?
On Grants.gov, applicants should search by Funding Opportunity Announcement number rather than CFDA.
When I download an application package from the FOA and save it for the first time locally, I get this warning message:
Is there something wrong with the forms?
No, the forms are OK. The message shows because no data has been entered yet. You will actually get this or a similar message every time you save until all data entry is complete. The applicant can ignore this error message until the final save before you submit. If you are ready to submit and are still getting this error message when you save, you should use the "Check Package for Errors" button to determine what may need to be fixed before submitting. If errors are found, a message box will appear telling you the total number of errors found and the details about the first one. Unfortunately there is no way to get a comprehensive list at this time. If you have five errors, you would have to fix the first one, and repeat the "check package for errors" process until all are corrected.

Bill Murray Says Bill Hader "Did the Best Work Anyone Ever Did" on 'SNL'
"Well, there's been extraordinary talent, let's get real.

We currently have a hill alongside our house and I am looking for a groundcover suggestion. I am interested in something that grows pretty fast, easy to take care of, and will surpress the tons of weeds that just seem to grow on the hill now. We live in Ohio and the hill is on the East side of the house. It gets partial shade since it is right next to the house. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, I should also mention that we do have indoor/outdoor cats, and I have a small child, so I need something that is non-toxix if ingested. I was about to go with Periwinkle, but then I read it is toxic! Yikes! |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 12 at 19:54
There are various listings of groundcovers suitable for the Ohio area, typically provided by your local extension service. I've included one for you to review. You will need to determine sun/shade suitability for your specific needs. I wouldn't be overly concerned about toxicity - way more plants are toxic to some degree or another than those that are not. The cats are not likely to bother them at all and now is a good time to start training your child not to put anything in their mouth that mom or dad did not OK first! Besides, unless it produces berries or some sort of fruit, munching on garden plants is not all that appealing to kids either - just try and get them to eat their veggies :-)) |
Here is a link that might be useful: groundcovers for Ohio
I would just rather not take the risk though having a little kid. I was thinking maybe about an herbal ground cover, like creeping thyme or mint, but I hear mint is very aggressive and can even go underneath your steps so it starts growing out in the yard. Maybe thyme is the way to go since it seems like it is better controlled? |

Thyme needs full sun and does not grow all that fast.....small scaled plants like thyme just don't make a big impact very quickly. If you are that concerned about toxic plants, then I'd take a very close look at everything else that is growing in your garden. As I stated previously, the vast majority of common garden plants - including a good many veggies - are toxic to some degree or another. FWIW, accidental poisonings of children eating landscape plants is pretty darn low - and most of the rest of the gardening population have both kids and/or pets as well and manage to combine both gardening and child/pet rearing without incident. Just saying......:-) |

Since Dec. 26 — the night he broke Dan Marino's single-season passing record — Brees has been hammering home his case for football immortality. And (sorry, Niners fans) there's a pretty good chance that his legend will continue to grow after this weekend.

As we march toward the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with a new NFL season here this evening with the Packers-Saints game, one new piece of one-of-a-kind memorabilia up for grabs each and every week has a bit more appeal than it might in different days.

Ive just worked out how I can do this! (im gonna have a terrible time explaining how this darn fangled thing works, but trust me its dead simple.)
Just say I keep the high frequency layer (of the quad tree) just rolling through.
Each layer of the quadtree is 2x2 pixels and 4 frames worth of video.
then the layer after I then randomize (mutate) the spacial state, to be a part of any 4 frame section (temporal state) it can be any of the 4 frames.
then I pass this to the next layer, and now I need to find spacial states that have any of these temporal states as an input into them (using the proximal link)
and this way I can nullify off permutations that werent a part of the original record, this way I can stop it from splitting off into noise!
Because there is always less states the further up the quadtree you go, it pretty much makes sense that we are going to knock a lot of noisy options out.
I keep going till I basicly hit 2 possibilities, then I randomize between them, and I get an infinite playback out of the linear record.
Past this is the breaking point, and some video might not break that nicely (your better off with a still camera position, im pretty sure) but it is guaranteed to keep it interesting and a fresh play every time.
Actually, going for 2 possibilities every frame might be a little too much ,maybe every 32nd frame would produce interesting enough results already, not sure.
If I was adding controls, I would keep finding possibilities, and stop feeding forward as soon as I didnt get the control option I needed, doing that would probably garble the screen cause that would theoretically be touch sensitive per frame. (which would be a little too good to be true)
So it gathers as far as it can with keeping to the constraints.
Its a lot like a chess algorythm, you start with many possibilities and you slowly knock them off one at a time until you get the desired result.

A court date for James Johnson, a former correctional officer with the Kentucky Correctional Institute for Women in Pewee Valley charged with sexually abusing inmates and related offenses, has been moved to next month.
Johnson, 54, of Louisville, was to have had a jury trial starting Monday in Shelby Circuit Court, but he is scheduled for a disposition hearing for March 17.
Antulo Sosa, 29, of 800 Main St. was arrested Jan. 16 at 309 8th St. and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, first offense and possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a vehicle. He was also served with a Shelby County warrant for an unstated charge.
TAYLORSVILLE – Several concerned residents attended the Spencer County Fiscal Court meeting Monday night to express their concerns about an alleged Mount Eden puppy mill, asking Judge-Executive Bill Carr and the magistrates what the county is doing about the issue.
"This is a black eye for Spencer County," Taylorsville resident Sarah Bauer said during the public comment portion of the meeting.
District court
The following cases were heard by Judge Donna Dutton:
Michele M. Brewer, first-offense failure of owner to maintain required insurance/security – guilty – insurance monitoring for 12 months and $643 fine and costs, $400 conditionally discharged.
Sentencing for a man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his adoptive sister has been moved to later in the month.
Jose A. Rodriquez, 24, of Louisville, was to have been sentenced Thursday in Shelby Circuit Court, but that event has been moved to Feb. 17. Court officials have no explanation for the move.
Rodriquez, whose adoptive family lives in Shelby County, was indicted in December 2011 for first-degree sexual abuse for a child under 12 years old. The victim was his stepsister, Ashley Hilger.
Two Shelbyville brothers have been arrested and charged with robbing a married couple at gunpoint in December
Iran W. Dixon, 38, and Lafah K. Dixon, 35, were arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree robbery.
A Shelbyville Police report said that at 10 p.m. Dec. 26, the pair stopped a married couple that was driving though the parking lot of an apartment complex on Baker Drive. The couple had just left a Christmas party.
Antonio Turner, 34, of 206 9th St. was arrested Dec. 2 at 401 Main St. on Shelby County warrants for operating on suspended or revoked operator's license, failure to surrender revoked operator's license, failure to maintain insurance, second offense, first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine), second offense, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia (2 counts).
Julie Ann Bakke-Van, possession of marijuana – guilty – 7-day sentence and $154 costs.
Nicholas Carreno, theft by unlawful taking/shoplifting – guilty – 30-day sentence and $154 costs.
A Shelby County man who was injured critically Thursday evening when his pickup truck collided with a train near downtown Shelbyville has been released from the hospital.
Ryan McBride was airlifted to the University of Louisville Medical Center after his truck was crushed by a Norfolk Southern train at about 5:30 p.m. in the area of 1st and Goodman streets.
Robin Chapman, director of public relations for Norfolk Southern, said the train, which consisted of two engines and 66 cars, hauling mixed freight, struck a pickup truck at the crossing.
Jessie Allen Stump of 110 Ada Ave. in Shelbyville, charged with rape and incest against children, will head back to court March 17.
Stump was to have appeared in Shelby Circuit Court on Friday for a status hearing, but his case received a docket pass and was rescheduled.
Stump, 61, was indicted in July 2012 on two counts each of first-degree rape and incest of two female children to whom he is related. He was serving as their sitter.
The offenses occurred in September 2003 and April 2012 in Shelby County.

Film Review: Summer Camp Nightmare (1987)
SYNOPSIS: Ah the 1980's summer camp. For some of us reading this can bring up some great memories of campfires and ghost stories.

I have been trying to find some 40 gal plastic nursery pots for the longest time. A gentleman at the Broward Rare Fruit Council fall plant sale told me that landscapers throw the used pots out when they are done with them.
I saw the landscapers that maintain my development planting some trees this morning and I asked them what they were going to do with the pots the palm trees were in, they said throw them out. So, my Sweetheart Lychee and a couple of my bigger mango trees now have new roomier digs. And for free. So, keep your eye out for those guys on the side of the road doing new landscaping installations. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice! I get free 30 gal and 55 gal drums which I turned into nice containers. |
I do the same. I have seen piles of those black plastic pots at nurseries and I grabbed a couple this year. It is so much cheaper to pot your trees up this way! Andrew |

Anyone braving the malls at 4am Friday to find the deal of the century? I will not be. I hate shopping in big crowds and I have to plan my day around not being near someone that might talk me into going remotely close to a mall. I might do some online shopping if I find something I can't live without. I really think this day has gotten out of hand...places opening at 3-4am...people getting trampled for a cheap free give-a-ways. There are much better things to do like drinking and watching football.
I will be too busy camping (I know I know it is a shame). Just thinking about the mall makes my skin crawl.
No freaking way. I don't like going to the mall anytime. I happily avoid all stores the day after Thanksgiving.
I would rather spend a few more dollars then fight the crowds. A small price to pay for your sanity.
I'll wait for the movie. [youtube]xWhWRZCfTho[/youtube] [youtube]mVPqCiqq8Ak[/youtube]
I worked in retail back while I was in school and one year they were giving away Mickey Mouse ornaments and nearly had a scene like that...it was scary. The next year they were doing it again but the store manager gave the ornaments away to the employees that were working that morning at 5am. Unless you are on commission or something, that is one of the worst days to work too. I always got stuck working a double shift, 5am-10, 7pm-11 or something ridiculous like that. We were not allowed to ask for that day off either.
Not a chance of me going anywhere near a mall. I may go food shopping after a slow brewing day.
We don't got no stinking malls! I don't even go to the grocery store on Black Friday.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I pretty much hate going out in town from Thanksgiving until after Christmas. Although the holidays are supposed to be a joyful season, full of giving, the rush to get somewhere and get a better deal before someone else seems to bring out the worst in people. People rush through parking lots, honing their bowling skill on pedestrians while trying to find a non-existent parking spot, the stores are crowded, it's just not worth it unless you can shop early in the day when most people are at work. I remember a few years ago, when a guy almost ran over the boys and myself as we were in a cross-walk at Walmart, and then had the nerve to tell me we shouldn't have been crossing the street.
Make Beer, Not War.

Saturday, April 20
Minute Maid Park at Union Station
Attendance: 19,904
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Jason Giambi smacked a three-run home run and had five RBI, and the Cleveland Indians scored 14 runs in the first two innings and handled the Houston Astros with ease, 19-6, on Saturday.
Mark Reynolds also smashed a three-run shot and drove in four runs for the Indians, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Nick Swisher went 4-for-7 with a pair of RBI, all part of a 22-hit attack. It's the most hits for the Indians since getting 25 against the Yankees on April 18, 2009.
Michael Brantley drove in three runs while Carlos Santana had two RBI, with Santana hitting a solo homer in the victory.
Scott Kazmir, who had not played in the major leagues since April 3, 2011, got the start for the Indians and despite the overwhelming run support was unable to pick up the win. He lasted 3 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks.
"Up 10 runs, I guess its just one of those things when its my first time out there just got the best of me. I just wasn't able to pitch my game, I'm the type of guy that likes to pitch off my fastball," Kazmir said.
Ronny Cedeno drove in three runs while Brandon Barnes had a two-run homer and Brandon Laird hit a solo shot for the Astros.
Astros starter Philip Humber (0-4) was rocked, allowing eight runs and registered just one out before being replaced by Dallas Keuchel.
"It has been hard on the bullpen. We haven't exactly held up our end of the bargain this past few weeks or so. We have to do a better job," Humber said.
Swisher doubled in Jason Kipnis as part of the eight-run opening inning. Giambi followed with a two-run double to right-center, plating Asdrubal Cabrera and Swisher. Santana walked, setting up Reynolds' homer to left field. After a double by Lonnie Chisenhall and an infield single by Drew Stubbs, Brantley stroked a two-run double to center, and that ended Humber's night on the mound.
The Indians scored six more runs in the second. Swisher hit a single and later scored on a base hit by Reynolds. Swisher would end the onslaught with a double that brought Kipnis home and the Indians had a 14-0 advantage.
The Astros got on the board in the bottom of the inning. Carlos Pena doubled and advanced to third on a wild pitch by Kazmir. Ronny Cedeno grounded out to shortstop, but was able to bring Pena home. Matt Dominguez was next and he drew a walk prior to Barnes' homer to right..
Santana homered to start the third, but Laird's solo shot came with one out in the bottom of the inning. Cedeno had a two-out, two-RBI single, plating Chris Carter and Pena, both of whom were walked.
Giambi's three-run smash came in the fourth, scoring Mike Aviles and Swisher.
Santana tacked on one more run in the fifth, when he hit a two-out double that brought Aviles home.
Corey Kluber (1-0) shut out the Astros in the final four innings to seal the win.

Latest News and Announcements
On Wednesday, August 13, the flag of the City of Portland will be lowered in honor of newborn Krystal Mangus who died the day she was born: April 12. She lived for twelve hours while her parents made stops to convenience stores, but ultimately never received medical care. She died of methamphetamine intoxication and neonatal pneumonia. Her parents are being held without bail following indictments of murder by abuse in the death of an infant and first-degree manslaughter.
City flags will be lowered at City Hall, the Portland Building, Portland fire stations, the World Trade Center, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and Providence Park.
"We have infant safe haven laws where any infant up to 30 days old can be taken to a medical facility, police or fire station, or birthing station," said Commissioner Dan Saltzman. "Krystal might still be alive today had someone taken her to any of these places or had just simply called 911."
Also on Wednesday, Commissioner Saltzman will make remarks followed by a moment of silence in honor of Krystal at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting at Portland City Hall.
City Council approved a resolution in April 2009 to lower the City's flag in honor of children who die from abuse, neglect, or homicidal violence. This marks the fourteenth time that the flag has been lowered.
If you know of or suspect abuse, call the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-509-5439. If you witness abuse, call 911.
On Wednesday, June 4, the flag of the City of Portland will be lowered in honor of 2 children who were victims of homicide last month. Four year-old Maribella Rose Willard died alongside her father, who was suffering from mental illness. That case is closed. Four days later, 16 year-old Lazaro Fuentes-Burgos was found fatally shot inside a vehicle. Authorities are still investigating, and anyone with information should contact Portland Police.
The City flag will be lowered at City Hall, the Portland Building, Portland fire stations, the World Trade Center, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and Providence Park.
"I am saddened that we've lost two children this past month," said City Commissioner Dan Saltzman. "Maribella was the quintessential Portland girl who loved visiting the zoo, the Portland Children's Museum, OMSI, and the nearby park. She was supposed to start kindergarten this autumn at Beach Elementary."
"While there are many questions around Lazaro's death, we know that he left behind a family that loved and cared for him. I send condolences to Lazaro's parents and to his extended family," said Saltzman.
Also on Wednesday, Commissioner Saltzman will make remarks followed by a moment of silence in honor of Maribella and Lazaro at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting at Portland City Hall.
City Council approved a resolution in April 2009 to lower the City's flag in honor of children who die from abuse, neglect, or homicidal violence. This marks the thirteenth time that the flag has been lowered.

You can leave a Crime Stoppers tip online, text CRIMES (274637) and in the subject line put 823HELP, followed by the tip, or call 503-823-HELP (4357) and leave the tip information.

Housing Commissioner Dan Saltzman to propose short-term rental fees dedicated for affordable rental housing
PORTLAND – In June 2014, Portland City Council will be considering a proposal to legalize more short-term rentals (such as Air BnB and VRBO). Part of this proposal would require short-term rentals to pay the appropriate lodging fees. Housing Commissioner Dan Saltzman will propose to dedicate 25 percent of the City's portion of those lodging fees to an affordable rental housing fund.
Commissioner Saltzman said, "We are at a tipping point in the future of Portland and we need to ensure we still retain affordable rental housing so that families who work in Portland can afford to live in Portland." Saltzman added, "We have a crisis of availability; we need more resources to build more units to keep pace with the needs of current residents."
Short-term rentals have the potential to exacerbate Portland's current housing shortage of affordable rental units. Portland has the second tightest rental market in the nation behind New York City. In just the last year, Portland rents increased more than 11 percent, while family incomes have stayed flat.
Combined with the news that Air BnB's North American Operational Headquarters in Portland will bring 160 new jobs to the city, Commissioner Saltzman's affordable rental housing proposal creates a win-win for Portlanders.

Portland Housing Advisory Commission Seeks New Members
Portland Housing Advisory Commission (PHAC), a volunteer public advisory body that advises Portland Housing Bureau's Director, Housing Commissioner, and Portland City Council on a range of housing policy and program issues, seeks new members.
The mission of the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) is to focus community resources on the unmet housing needs of the people of Portland. We accomplish this with expertise and direction from the PHAC.
PHB looks to the PHAC to bring ideas, analysis and diverse perspectives to the table; to highlight opportunities for influence between the City's housing system and other systems; and to provide an inclusive forum for public input on housing issues. The PHAC promotes improvements within PHB and the larger housing system, advises on issues of equity in access and outcomes for Portlanders in PHB programs, and increases the profile of PHB in the community. The PHAC functions as the PHB Budget Advisory Committee, satisfying local requirements for citizen participation in the City's annual budget process. In this role, the PHAC assists in aligning PHB's resources—including federal funds, local general fund, and the "Affordable Housing Set-aside" of tax increment funds generated through urban renewal—to PHB's mission. The PHAC also plays a role in federal regulatory compliance.
We encourage you to apply to be a member of the PHAC or a sub-committee. Please click here for the application or find it posted here, http://www.portlandoregon.gov/phb/article/434287. Return the completed application to the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI), who will forward your application to the PHB. Complete instructions are available on the form.
For more information, contact Daynelle Banks at email@example.com or 503-823-3403.
As the weather gets nicer and we start opening our windows, we all must do our part to help educate parents and caregivers on how they can keep children from falling out of windows.
Last week brought a special message from Chief Erin Janssens of Portland Fire & Rescue about National Window Safety Week. This week we'd like to echo the Chief's message and highlight a great book, a great video, and a great store to get the safety products you need for your family.
The moving video comes to us from one of our very own Portland firefighters and his wife regarding the fall their young son took from their second story window. We thank them for opening up and sharing their stories so that other parents do not have to go through what they have gone through. They also wrote a book for children and families called If Kids Could Float: A Window Fall Prevention Story which you can find in print or as eBook here and here.
Legacy Emanuel Hospital's Safety Center also has a safety store that "offers a variety of below-retail cost-safety products, hands-on practice and one-on-one education."
More info on all of this can also be found at the Stop at 4 Campaign website.
